2. The Second Coloring Book for Big Girls: Spirits and Goddesses
Avg.
Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com: I bought The Second Coloring Book for holiday gifts for my friends, sister, and niece--most as sequel gifts for the first Coloring Book for Big Girls I bought a couple of years ago. I wrapped them up with a box of watercolor pencils, and still feel great about the choice. My friends color privately, as a way to enhance their own journaling. They take them on group campouts, pass them around at parties, as an ice-breaker for classes, and in the dorm room for everyone to contribute.
Like the first Coloring Book for Big Girls, The Second Coloring Book for Big Girls is a celebration of REAL women, SPIRITUAL women, and our legitimate boundless vision. Her book is more than a coloring book--it is an invitation to color outside the lines, and to add whatever we bring to the drawing. It is a rare opportunity to validate our perceptions. You can't help but want to sign it yourself and hang it up! Most importantly, it is the perfect daily devotional. I can't wait until the third one!

Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com: So, you think you're too grown-up to pick up a crayon and explore what you really want to be when you grow up? I've bought SARK's Journal and Play!Book for every busy mom, overworked student or stressed-out exec I know. Finally some one got the hint and bought one for me. It's perfect for exploring yourself and what really makes you tick. This book makes time and space for you and you alone. It's filled with beautiful, colorful pages that ache to be colored, sketched or written on. I recommend it for anyone that has a hard time finding time for themselves.
1. The Muppet Show: Music, Mayhem and More - 25th Anniversary
Original Release Date: 2002

Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com:
Those who spent (or are
spending) their formative years watching Kermit and Miss Piggy dance their
special interspecies dance will revel in this spectacular, positively historic
new Muppets CD, released just in time for the 25th anniversary of Jim Henson's
The Muppet Show. A 20-page insert
booklet, complete with color photos, details the fascinating history of Muppet
music. Remember when Sesame Street's rendition of Jeff Moss's "Rubber Duckie"
hit the kiddie pop charts? This 27-song CD harvests favorite and lesser-known
recordings from feature films and from the original The Muppet Show, stringing
songs ranging from Piero Umiliani's "Mahna Mahna" to Tony Burrello's "There's
a New Sound" (the sound that's made by worms) together with skits and grand
pronouncements and goofy sound effects like an old-time vaudeville show. A
stunning variety of musical styles are showcased in this witty, wonderful
collection that reminds us that a world without Fozzie Bear and Gonzo and
Kermit and Miss Piggy would be less fuzzy indeed.

From Amazon.com: The movie Grease is a 1970s take on 1950s musicals, providing all the kitsch anyone could hope for. It's John Travolta as Danny Zuko as Olivia Newton-John's pompadoured main squeeze, and the kids go crazy. Fresh from his astronomical success with Travolta in Saturday Night Fever, Bee Gee Barry Gibb penned the title track (sung by Frankie Valli). Sha Na Na is over-represented, and actress Stockard Channing struts her, um, versatility, singing a couple of tracks. This has become a touchstone in American culture, and so isn't likely to improve our standing in the world's eyes. Maybe the point is that it's supposed to sound amateurish, but it does manage to eke out some fun, most notably on the hit "You're the One That I Want."

From Amazon.com: A sampling of the short, witty educational songs that TV viewers in the '70s and '80s absorbed along with their Saturday morning cartoons, written and sung by some of the best jazz artists around. Bob Dorough, Tom Yohe, Dave Frishberg--you can't beat the talent that went into "Conjunction Junction," "Walkin' On Wall Street," "I'm Just a Bill," and scads more. A 1999 Parents' Choice® Recommendation.
1. Finding Neverland (Full Screen Edition)
(2004) ~ DVD
Avg.
Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com: Sweetness that doesn't turn saccharine is hard to find these days; Finding Neverland hits the mark. Much credit is due to the actors: Johnny Depp applies his genius for sly whimsy in his portrayal of playwright J. M. Barrie, who finds inspiration for his greatest creation from four lively boys, the sons of widow Sylvia Llewelyn Davies (Kate Winslet, who miraculously fuses romantic yearning with common sense). Though the friendship threatens his already dwindling marriage, Barrie spends endless hours with the boys, pretending to be pirates or Indians--and gradually the elements of Peter Pan take shape in his mind. The relationship between Barrie and the Llewelyn Davies family sparks both an imagined world and a quiet rebellion against the stuffy forces of respectability, given physical form by Barrie's resentful wife (Radha Mitchell, High Art) and Sylvia's mother (Julie Christie, McCabe & Mrs. Miller). This gentle silliness could have turned to treacle, but Depp and Winslet--along with newcomer Freddie Highmore as one of the boys--keep their feet on the earth while their eyes gaze into their dreams. Also featuring a comically crusty turn from Dustin Hoffman (who appeared in another Peter Pan-themed movie, Hook) as a long-suffering theater producer.
2. Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory (Special Full Screen Edition)
(1971) ~ DVD
Avg. Customer
Rating:
From Amazon.com: Having proven itself as a favorite film of children around the world, Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory is every bit as entertaining now as it was when originally released in 1971. There's a timeless appeal to Roald Dahl's classic children's novel, which was playfully preserved in this charming musical, from the colorful carnival-like splendor of its production design to the infectious melody of the "Oompah-Loompah" songs that punctuate the story. Who can forget those diminutive Oompah-Loompah workers who recite rhyming parental warnings ("Oompah-Loompah, doopity do...") whenever some mischievous child has disobeyed Willy Wonka's orders to remain orderly? Oh, but we're getting ahead of ourselves ... it's really the story of the impoverished Charlie Bucket, who, along with four other kids and their parental guests, wins a coveted golden ticket to enter the fantastic realm of Wonka's mysterious confectionery. After the other kids have proven themselves to be irresponsible brats, it's Charlie who impresses Wonka and wins a reward beyond his wildest dreams. But before that, the tour of Wonka's factory provides a dazzling parade of delights, and with Gene Wilder giving a brilliant performance as the eccentric candyman, Wonka gains an edge of menace and madness that nicely counterbalances the movie's sentimental sweetness. It's that willingness to risk a darker tone--to show that even a wonderland like Wonka's can be a weird and dangerous place if you're a bad kid--that makes this an enduring family classic.
3. Finding Nemo
(2003) ~ DVD
Avg.
Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com: A delightful undersea world unfolds in Pixar's animated adventure Finding Nemo. When his son Nemo is captured by a scuba-diver, a nervous-nellie clownfish named Marlin (voiced by Albert Brooks) sets off into the vast--and astonishingly detailed--ocean to find him. Along the way he hooks up with a scatterbrained blue tang fish named Dory (Ellen DeGeneres), who's both helpful and a hindrance, sometimes at the same time. Faced with sharks, deep-sea anglers, fields of poisonous jellyfish, sea turtles, pelicans, and much more, Marlin rises above his neuroses in this wonderfully funny and nonstop thrill ride--rarely does more than 10 minutes pass without a sequence destined to become a theme park attraction. Pixar continues its run of impeccable artistic and economic success (their movies include Toy Story, A Bug's Life, Toy Story 2, and Monsters, Inc.). Also featuring the voices of Willem Dafoe, Geoffrey Rush, and Allison Janney. | ||||||||
